ah yes! it’s spring, people, and it’s high time for getting in those bitter greens to clean the liver. the bitter-er, the better. YUM!

…about those bitter greens…
you gotta do what you gotta do to get to the “YUM”. it is a bit tricky getting them down, especially when you taste bitter most acutely at the back of the tongue, just few taste buds short of the gag reflex spot. it is mostly a mental thing. but if you need some help, read on.

as it turns out, this delight was totally worth it. not too sweet. lots of ginger in all the right places. and just the right amount of dessert so i didn’t feel like a pig. best part: we finished up at 3 pm so i had plenty of time to burn it off.

yummy!
